"See the chariot at hand here of loveWherein my lady rideth!Each that draws is a swan or a doveAnd well the car love guideth.As she goes, all hearts do dutyUnto her beauty;And enamoured do wish so they mightBut enjoy such a sight,Though they still were to run by her side,Through swords, through seas, whither she would ride."Purchase

Over the years, the company was also known as J. Huntley & Son and Huntley & Palmer. A business of the same name has recently been re-established in Sudbury in Suffolk. The gold seal in the top left reads: 'Loyal Greetings to HM Queen Elizabeth II' Purchase

This stunning ad features a representation of the Guerlain perfume distillery on the Champs~ Élysées in 1840, with horse-drawn carriage heading toward l'Arc de Triomphe in the background.
